Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

RATIONALE: Kidney-sparing surgery is a less invasive type of surgery for kidney cancer, and may have fewer side effects and improve recovery. It is unknown whether kidney-sparing surgery is more effective than kidney removal in treating kidney cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of surgery to completely remove the kidney with kidney-sparing surgery in treating patients with resectable kidney cancer.

Investigators

The overall officials registered on this study. Names that resolve to a findmyKOL profile link to it; the rest are shown as registered.

A profile link is shown only when the registered name resolves to a person record with a confident, namesake-checked match; ambiguous names stay unlinked.

Site investigator names are published by ClinicalTrials.gov only while a study recruits, so completed studies list sites without them.
